Plumbing Services & Repair in Fort Worth, TX

Emergency plumbing, any hour

Office hours 8 AM–11 PM daily · 24/7 emergency service. For a burst pipe, sewage backing up, no water or water you can't shut off, call at any hour: we send our on-call plumber right away and talk you through shutting off the water while they are on the way. See emergency plumbing services for what counts as an emergency and what to do while you wait.

Freezes hit hose bibs and pipes in attics, garages and outside walls first; DFW's average first freeze is around November 22. See frozen pipes for freeze prep and burst-pipe steps.

Quick help guides

• What to do about a burst pipe: close the main shut-off valve to stop the flooding, then call us at any hour and we send our on-call plumber right away.
• Sewage backing up in the tub: stop flushing and running water anywhere in the house, because every drain feeds the same blocked main line, and call us at any hour.
• Smell gas in the house: the order that matters is to leave the building first, avoid flipping any switch or lighting anything, phone 911 or Atmos Energy once you are outside and call us after that.
• Water heater leaking from the bottom: four steps to shut the tank down and a way to tell whether the water is coming from a valve, a fitting or the tank itself.
• Toilet overflowing: how to stop the bowl from filling before it spills, plunge it the right way and spot a main-line clog when other drains back up too.
• No hot water: pilot, breaker, reset button and tankless error-code checks you can try before booking a repair at a time that suits you.

Drains, sewer lines and camera inspection

One slow sink is usually a local clog. Several slow drains, gurgling toilets or sewage at a floor drain point to the main line, which in older Fort Worth homes is often cast iron or clay that roots can enter at the joints.

• Drain cleaning: clogs in kitchen, bathroom, laundry and main sewer lines.
• Pipe cleaning: buildup in lines that keep slowing down, not just one clog.
• Drain repair: cracked, leaking or separated drain pipe.
• Drain installation and replacement: new drain lines for remodels and worn-out runs.
• Sewer line repair and replacement: broken, root-filled or sagging lines to the city connection.
• Video camera inspection: shows the cause and its location before any digging.

Water heaters and boilers

Hard water scale in tanks causes popping noises, hot water that runs out fast and, eventually, leaks. Start with our water heaters overview or go straight to:

• Water heater repair: no hot water, pilot and ignition problems, leaking tanks and relief valves.
• Water heater installation and replacement: tank and tankless installs, with $150 off a new water heater (terms on our coupons page).
• Boilers: repair and replacement for hot-water heating systems.

Gas line repair, installation and Atmos red tags

Gas line repair is for leaking, corroded or damaged gas piping. Gas line installation is for new lines to an appliance, a generator or an outdoor kitchen.

After Atmos Energy red-tags a line, the leak must be repaired and the line must pass a pressure test and city inspection before Atmos turns the gas back on. The Atmos red tag gas test page covers each step.

Each type of gas job also has its own page:

• Gas line services: one starting point for every gas job we handle at Fort Worth homes and businesses, from a single appliance connection to a whole new run of pipe.
• Generator gas line installation: a line sized for a standby generator's fuel demand and the distance from the meter, so the generator has enough gas during a power outage.
• Outdoor kitchen and fire pit gas lines: piping carried out to a built-in grill, outdoor kitchen or fire pit in the backyard.
• Tankless water heater gas line: checking and upsizing the supply pipe when you trade a tank for a tankless unit, because its burner draws far more gas.
• Gas appliance hookup: connecting a range, cooktop, dryer or fireplace, or switching an appliance from electric to gas.
• Gas pressure test: how a new or repaired line is held under pressure on a gauge, with a city inspector watching on permitted work, before gas flows again (Atmos Energy turns it on after a red tag or a new meter).

Leak detection, slab leaks and foundation leaks

A water bill that jumps, a meter that moves with every fixture off, warm floor spots or a damp patch that keeps returning all point to a hidden leak.

• Leak detection: locating hidden leaks in walls, ceilings, floors and yard lines.
• Slab leaks: leaks in the water lines under a concrete slab, common where expansive clay shifts foundations.
• Foundation leaks: drain-line leaks under or beside the foundation that soak the clay and can lift or crack a slab.

Water lines, water pressure and repiping

Low pressure, rusty water and pinhole leaks are typical with galvanized pipe. Fort Worth Water has also been sending notices to owners whose service lines are listed as galvanized requiring replacement.

• Water line repair: leaks and breaks in the line from the meter to the house.
• Water line installation: new or replacement water service lines.
• Water pressure repair: pressure that is too low or too high, from a failing regulator to scale.
• Piping and repiping: replacing old galvanized or failing pipe throughout the house.

Fixtures: sinks, faucets, toilets, showers and disposals

Repair and installation are different jobs, so they have separate pages.

• Sink repair: leaks, clogs and loose sinks or drain connections.
• Sink installation: new kitchen, bathroom and laundry sinks.
• Faucet repairs and installation: dripping or low-flow faucets, and new faucets.
• Toilet repairs and installation: running, clogged, leaking or rocking toilets, and replacements.
• Shower repairs and installation: leaking valves, weak flow and new shower valves.
• Garbage disposal replacement: jammed, humming, leaking or worn-out disposals.
• Fixture repair: tubs, hose bibs, shut-off valves and other fixtures.
• Fixture installation: new fixtures for remodels and upgrades.

Maintenance, commercial plumbing and commercial kitchens

Our maintenance and repairs service catches small problems early: dripping fixtures, running toilets, slow drains and pressure changes.

For businesses, commercial plumbing covers restaurants, shops, offices and rental property, including grease-heavy kitchen drains near the Stockyards and Near Southside.

• Restaurant gas line installation: new or rerouted gas supply to the fryers, griddles, ranges and the rest of the cook line when a restaurant opens or remodels.
• Grease trap service: installing, replacing and repairing grease traps and interceptors, plus jetting the grease lines that feed them.
• Commercial water heaters: choosing, sizing and replacing a business water heater so it keeps up at the busiest hour, with the changeover planned to limit downtime.
